Pink says she tested positive for coronavirus

The 'Raise Your Glass' and 'Just Like a Pill' superstar shared the news on Instagram yesterday (April 3), writing: "Two weeks ago my three-year old son, Jameson, and I are were showing symptoms of COVID-19.

"Fortunately, our primary care physician had access to tests and I tested positive. My family was already sheltering at home and we continued to do so for the last two weeks following the instruction of our doctor."

She added: "This illness is serious and real. People need to know that the illness affects the young and old, healthy and unhealthy, rich and poor, and we must make testing free and more widely accessible to protect our children, our families, our friends and our communities."

"THANK YOU to all of our healthcare professionals and everyone in the world who are working so hard to protect our loved ones," she continued.
